    Chapter 251: Security Guard Micah


    Dawn let out a soft, contented sigh and gently closed her eyes, feeling a wave of relief wash over her.


    Ethan moved with careful precision, easing her onto the bed and pulling the covers snugly over her. Then, without a word, he turned to adjust the heater, setting it to a warm,fortable level that would keep the chill at bay.


    When he faced her again, Dawn’s head was resting lightly on the pillow, her brown hair spilling in gentle waves to one side. Her bright eyes were fixed on him, calm and steady.


    His heart softened in an instant. Taking two quick steps forward, he reached out to brush the strands of hair away from her face with a tenderness that surprised even himself.


    “Did I wake you?” he asked, his voice rough with concern.


    Dawn shook her head, her reply muffled but clear enough to reassure him.


    “Where did you go just now?” he pressed gently.


    “I went to check on Micah,” she answered. “His injuries aren’t serious, so you don’t have to feel guilty.”


    Dawn hummed softly in response, then lifted her head slightly, resting her chin in the palm of his hand. “But it’s a bit odd, isn’t it? He’s been back in the country for quite some time now without any real business to attend to. So, why do you think he came back?”


    Though Ethan and Micah shared a close friendship, Micah had his own brother to manage his affairs, so Ethan wasn’t usually involved in those matters.


    “Is he nning to settle down here for good?” Dawn mused aloud, her thoughts wandering. “But that doesn’t exin why he’s been shadowing you every single day. Unless he…”


    She trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished.


    Ethan’s eyes suddenly gleamed with a sharp, almost dangerous light.


    Amused by her quick intuition, he tapped her forehead yfully. “What kind of nonsense are you imagining? His brother’s hardly ever around, and he doesn’t have many connections here. There aren’t many people he can hang out with.”


    Put that way, it did make sense.


    Dawn chuckled awkwardly. “Alright, alright. I guess I misunderstood.”


    “Well, since he’s so determined to stick by your side, why not find him a job? That way, he won’t have all this restless energy to burn, and maybe he’ll stop pestering me every time he sees me.”


    Ethan raised an eyebrow but didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he tucked the covers in firmly. “Go to sleep.”


    Dawn’s wide eyes held his gaze. “Seriously, think about it, okay?”


    But for Ethan, there was no need to ponder.


    The very next day, Micah received a letter of employment from Jackson Group.


    His eyes nearly bulged out in disbelief. “What? Security guard? I graduated from a world-ss university, and you expect me to be a doorman at Jackson Group?”


    He tossed the letter aside with disdain. “No way I’m doing this!”


    Tony, ever good-natured, picked up the letter with a smile.


    “Mr. Micah, you don’t have to go if you don’t want to.”


    Micah turned away but couldn’t help ncing back, waiting for the rest of the exnation.


    Tony continued with a grin, “But the boss said if you don’t report for duty today, you’ll be cklisted permanently by Jackson Group. That means the headquarters and all subsidiaries—you won’t be allowed into any of them.”


    Micah stared at him, disbelief etched across his face.


    He clenched his teeth. Ethan was trying to shut him outpletely!


    What kind of grudge was this?


    After a moment of reflection, he realized the likely source of this plot. It had to be Dawn whispering in Ethan’s ear.


    Micah closed his eyes and sighed inwardly. How sly and shameless!


    “Mr. Micah?” Tony stood patiently, awaiting his decision. “There’s still forty minutes before your shift starts. Have you made up your mind?”


    “I’ll go,” Micah said, his voice darkening as he snatched the letter back from Tony’s hand. “Fine, I’ll go. Happy now? Let’s get this over with!”


    Tony stepped aside politely. “Mr. Micah, I have other duties to attend to. You’ll need to report on your own.”


    Micah’s jaw dropped in surprise.


    News of Micah’s new job spread quickly, and when Dawn heard, she couldn’t help butugh, ncing down at her phone with amusement. Karma, indeed.


    Someone as wild as Micah needed someone like Ethan to keep him in check.


    At noon, she decided to visit him at work.


    After picking up some food from a nearby restaurant, Dawn drove to the Jackson Group building.


    From a distance, she spotted an armchair oddly ced by the entrance. It looked out of ce—wooden and weathered,pletely mismatched with the sleek office exterior.


    Micah was slouched in it, utterlycking any sense of formality. His face was hidden behind a men’s magazine, the cover featuring a long-legged model perfectly obscuring his features.


    Dawn found the scene amusing and quickly snapped a photo with her phone before approaching.


    As if sensing her presence, Micah lifted his head just as she drew near.


    Their eyes met, and for a brief moment, both froze.


    Micah straightened up abruptly. His security uniform hung awkwardly on his frame, adding a rebellious edge to his appearance. “What are you doing here?” he asked impatiently.


    “I’m not here for you, so why do you care what I’m doing?” Dawn retorted with a smirk, lifting her chin as she prepared to walk past him.


    That proud attitude made Micah click his tongue twice in annoyance. “Come back,e back. You need to sign in. Don’t you know the procedures?”


    “I don’t,” Dawn blinked innocently. “I’m here to see my husband. If you’ve got nothing better to do, maybe you should brush up on the boss’s family rtionships instead of wasting time with that magazine. It’s pointless.”


    Micah followed her gaze to the table and nced at the cover. The female model was dressed in provocative, revealing clothing—the kind that could make any man’s blood race with just a nce.


    His face flushed bright red, and he snapped embarrassedly, “Get lost!”


    Dawn rolled her eyes. Before leaving, she tossed one of the lunch boxes she was carrying onto the table.


    She lingered in the elevator for a while before Micah finally picked up the lunch box.


    “Ugh, ugly,” he muttered. “What kind of food did she order? It smells terrible!”Conclusion
